Yamaha CS-60

The CS-60 is a very scaled down light version of the CS-80. It's a classic and old polyphonic
programmable analog synthesizer that has some potential. It does not
sound as great as the CS-80 nor is it as
programmable. You get a few preset sounds which are pretty useless and a
mere 1 user patch. But there are just enough sliders, edit parameters
and even an excellent Ring Modulator to get some interesting pads,
drones, basses and other analog synth sounds. Oddly, sitting between the
keyboard and those large Preset Switches is a long velvet ribbon
controller which is pretty cool for doing wild pitch bends.

Due to its old age most CS-60s are in battered shape these days,
difficult to service but in need of some. And they suffer common
ailments of the analog domain - overheating, unstable tuning, it weighs
a lot, etc... However the CS-60 is the cheapest way to get into some
genuine CS-80 sounds of analog heaven with
basic entry-level programming! It has been used by Air, Jean-Michel
Jarre, Oshe and Bob Marley and the Wailers.
